Chapter 134: Wen Jia Eats Herself While Eating the Watermelon
The scam of infringing on Xie’s Jewelry made Zhao Wan a laughing stock in the entertainment industry. Now, if she wants to suppress this heat, she can only use another kind of heat. The best thing is that Zhao Wan can get an endorsement that is comparable to Xie’s Jewelry, but it is obviously impossible.
Wei Lai's brain was working at high speed, and he finally made a decision. He had previously been connected to a large-scale fantasy drama, and Wei Lai took Zhao Wan to audition for the female lead. The director wanted a popular star to join, but seeing the popularity of Wen Jia, he did not like the newly emerging Zhao Wan.
"Sister Wei, what should I do now?" Zhao Wan asked Wei Lai a little panicked. It was she who contacted this Vice President Liu, who said that he would guarantee that she could get the endorsement. How did things turn out like this now?
"Why are you in such a hurry? I will naturally find a way to solve it." Wei Lai said in a bad mood.
Seeing this, Zhao Wan didn't dare to say anything more. Looking at the increasing number of sarcastic messages on Weibo, she hated Qian Muchue at this moment. Why did she always pick on her?
Picking up the phone, Wei Lai made a call without hesitation.
"Hello, Director Xin, I'm Wei Lai. Is it convenient for me to call you now?" Wei Lai said smilingly into the phone, and it was impossible to tell that she was in a bad mood.
When Zhao Wan heard the name Director Xin, she immediately pricked up her ears. She knew Director Xin, who was currently planning to shoot a large-scale fantasy drama. Unfortunately, Director Xin didn't like her last audition.
"Director Xin, I talked to you last time and I still really want to work with you. How about this, let Zhao Wan play the female lead, and our Wen Jia will play the second female lead as a guest appearance. Wen Jia's schedule is really too busy and she can't arrange it. The second female lead has fewer scenes, so we can try to make time for it. Do you think this is okay?"
"Okay, Director Xin, that's settled. Please make an official announcement on Weibo, and we'll cooperate with the promotion."
After hanging up the phone, Wei Lai put away the smile on her face. Asking Wen Jia to lower her status and play the second female lead to support Zhao Wan was not a good deal for her. Wei Lai frowned and thought about how to tell Wen Jia.
Director Xin on the other end of the phone, after hanging up, immediately had someone officially announce the female lead and second female lead of the new drama "The Immortal Record". What he wanted was Wen Jia's traffic, and it didn't matter as to who would play the first or second female lead. On the contrary, such a controversial casting could still attract heated discussions, making "The Immortal Record" popular before it was even aired.
Wen Jia, who had just finished shooting for a magazine, was playing with her phone in the nanny car. She first saw that Xie's Jewelry officially announced its new spokesperson Qian Muchue, and then saw Zhao Wan's Weibo being mocked by the crowd. Although she was surprised that Qian Muchue, a newcomer, could get the endorsement of Xie's Jewelry, she felt more happy.
"Zhao Wan is really disappointing. Wei Lai works so hard to help her get resources, but she is still not as good as a newcomer in a small company." Wen Jia said to the assistant beside her in a good mood.
"That Zhao Wan, let alone compared with you, Sister Wen, even Qian Muchue is better than her. I don't know what Sister Wei is thinking to bring in such a newcomer." The young assistant Xu Ai quickly responded.
Wen Jia did not answer Xu Ai's words, but was thinking about Xi Fei from Xinrui Entertainment. Since she was able to snatch the endorsement of Xie's Jewelry from Wei Lai, it seemed that Xinrui Entertainment was not as simple as she thought. Well, that's good.
"Sister Wen, look at this." Xu Ai's face suddenly changed and she handed her cell phone to Wen Jia.
The screen on the phone shows the official announcement from the crew of the fantasy drama "The Immortal Record". The female lead is Zhao Wan, but this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that Wen Jia is the second female lead, supporting Zhao Wan.
Xu Ai is Wen Jia's assistant. She is very familiar with the announcements of her own artists, but she knows nothing about this "Immortal Record".
Seeing Xu Ai making a fuss, Wen Jia took the phone. After a few seconds, her face turned ashen. She didn't expect that the melon would end up being eaten by herself. The "Immortal Record" actually officially announced that she was the second female lead. There was no doubt that it must be the role that Wei Lai gave her.
Wen Jia almost couldn't help but smash the phone in his hand, but fortunately he still had his wits about him and Xu Ai saved the phone.
"Humph, I didn't expect Wei Lai to go this far for her. I really misjudged him." Wen Jia laughed in anger.
The sudden official announcement at this point in time is clearly to help Zhao Wan get out of trouble for her fraudulent behavior against Xie's Jewelry. She, the top star of Xingyao Entertainment, is asked to play a supporting role for a newcomer like Zhao Wan. I wonder if Zhao Wan can bear it.
"Go back to Xingyao Entertainment." Wen Jia, who was originally planning to go home to rest, asked the driver to change the route and go back to the company to find Wei Lai.
After seeing the official announcement of "Record of Immortals", Zhao Wan also quickly followed suit. Sure enough, the public opinion on Weibo changed immediately.
Seeing that their mistress got the leading female role in a big production, Zhao Wan's fans, who had just been suppressed by Qian Muchue's fans and had no power to fight back, immediately became active.
"Wanwan is great, looking forward to "The Immortal Record"."
"Our Wanwan is an actress, and actors should speak for themselves through their works. Congratulations to Wanwan for landing the female lead role in 'The Immortal Record'."
"Director Xin has such a good eye. Wanwan deserves it."
“…”
Seeing the change in opinions on Weibo, Zhao Wan breathed a sigh of relief. Although she lost the endorsement of Xie's Jewelry, she got the role of the female lead in "The Immortal Record" and Wen Jia had to play a supporting role for her, which was not bad.
Wei Lai, who was standing by, logged into Wen Jia's Weibo on her mobile phone. She was Wen Jia's agent and would regularly post promotional materials for the artist, so she had Wen Jia's Weibo password.
She used Wenjia's Weibo to post a message @"Xianrenlu" official Weibo, which read: "Challenge new roles, look forward to cooperation with a smiley face expression."
Wei Lai knew very well that letting Wen Jia play the second female lead in "The Immortal Record" would anger Wen Jia's fans, so she posted this Weibo to make fans think that Wen Jia herself wanted to find a new breakthrough and accept this role.
Despite this, Wen Jia's fans who heard the news still expressed their sympathy for Wen Jia under Zhao Wan's Weibo. Some career fans even directly commented on Wen Jia's Weibo to express their anger at her lack of fighting spirit. Of course, there were also many true fans who said that as long as it was Wen Jia's decision, they would support it.
Because it involved a top-tier celebrity, the casting of "The Immortal Record" was pushed to the top of the hot searches by Wen Jia's fans. The crew did some publicity for free, the director was very happy, and Zhao Wan's popularity also increased. The only one whose interests were harmed was Wen Jia.
Qian Muchue and Xi Fei looked at each other in surprise when they saw this scene. Wei Lai's move was too amazing. How confident was she that she dared to use her first-line artists to raise Zhao Wan's value? She was sure that Wen Jia would not dare to resist.
In her previous life, Wen Jia did not resist, but Zhao Wan was doing well at that time and did not encounter such a crisis. Wei Lai's eating habits were not so ugly. If Wei Lai in her previous life did such a thing at this point, Qian Muchue did not believe that Wen Jia could endure it.
In this life, with Qian Muchue's reminder, Xi Fei had already loosened the ground for Wei Lai in advance. Now that Wei Lai has done this, it seems that the day when Wen Jia leaves Xingyao Entertainment is not far away.
"Sister Xi, it seems that you will have to work harder to persuade Wenjia during this period of time." Qian Muchue said with a hint of meaning.
"I understand." Xi Fei understood.
She was feeling refreshed at the moment. Xinrui Entertainment was developing so smoothly. In less than a year, Qian Muchue had made her mark in the entertainment industry. If things went well for Wenjia, with Qian Muchue and Wenjia in charge, Xinrui Entertainment's status in the industry would rise sharply.
